Our family continues to grow...

It's hard to believe it is February already! Our family continues to grow. Our most recent addition is Daxton, Eric and Amanda's little boy born Dec 30, 2008. He was 6lbs 3 oz. He is perfect!

Jessie's little boy Gavin will be turning 3 years old on March 13th. Stan and I are amazed at Gavin's language skills at such a young age. Erin's little boy Jaden will be 5 years old on April 11th. Jaden has a wonderful sense of humor and makes us laugh!

Jaden and Gavin (pictured below) are showing off their dancing skills on Christmas Day at Grandma and BaBa's place. 

 

We have a grandaughter named Cicely who is 9 months old. She is Eric's little girl, but we don't get to see little Cicely much. She is beautiful!

Our greatest joy are our granchildren. We are so blessed to have our children and granchildren with us in Minnesota. There is no greater blessing than family. We count our blessings everyday.

Stan and I still work at RR Donnelley in Long Prairie MN.  Stan is a networking Admininstrator and I am an HR Assistant.  RR Donnelley is a printing company. We are so blessed to have our jobs and work for a wonderful company.

We are still busy with our callings at church. Stan is a counselor in the Bishopric and I am serving as a counselor in Primary. We love the Alexandria Ward and feel so much at home here. 

Stan and I have become Fox news fanatics and put Fox news on as soon as we get home from work. We are so concerned about the direction of our country and economy.  We pray everyday that our new leaders will make wise decisions, but we have to say, we are not impressed by the new stimulus bill!

We are so excited about Jim's wonderful idea of connecting our blogs. It has given me the motivation to update The Thompson Network! Thanks Jim!
